A Bill to require water companies to provide social tariffs for low income families; and for connected purposes
House of Commons
26 April 2013
The Water Companies (Social Tariffs) Bill would require water companies to offer social tariffs to help low-income households manage their water bills. It would set rules on who qualifies and how tariffs are calculated, and require regular reporting to ensure the help reaches those in need, with the aim of reducing water poverty.
The bill is currently at the second reading in the House of Commons. If it progresses, it would move to the committee stage for detailed consideration, followed by report and third readings, before potentially moving to the Lords.
